The notion of perspective it is interesting also, because brings to mind the idea of a look that is built.

Furthermore, the paradoxical process of composition is a resource not only textual but have stylistic effects while compositions will be more frequently found in certain works paradoxical Will then this procedure can be associated to specific theatrical styles, authorial or epochal? We risk to point out that if we pay attention to a series of short scenes in which they observe in their staging reminiscent of black humor, through analysis and comparison of their poetry, then you can appreciate how this aesthetic category as one of resources to invest composition paradoxical perspective of the dramatic structure of a work.
